IoT based Robotic Arm for Student Online Learning

Abstract

Currently, robots can be used for additional purposes, people trying to perform difficult tasks. These robots also have the potential to become more powerful and use sensors not available to humans, giving supernatural abilities to guards that they may not have. Robotic arms are widely used for industry, hospitals, and education. The main function of the robotic arm is to control movement. The robotic arm is operated manually by humans. Since being attacked by this covid 19 epidemic, robotic learning has been difficult to implement where students are forced to go through online learning. Therefore, the research is allowing the students to implement robotic arms through online learning. The purpose of this study is to implement a robotic arm using the Internet of Things (IoT). The robotic arm has been developed with four Degrees of Freedom (DOF). The robotic arm can operate and be controlled by Blynk applications. By using the esp8266 Wi-Fi module, the robot arm can directly connect to the internet. In this study, the most important is to determine to move robotic arms using IoT. Thus, experiments for robotic arms using IoT were carried out.
